Michigan skidded down 20 places in the poll this week. They are lucky to be ranked at all. The bigger sin is that only Divsion 1 schools can be ranked. What a crock of doo-doo (and I refuse to use this new crap about calling Divsions I, II and III by their new designations. What hogpoody is THIS?)

I missed the Bowden Bowl in Death Valley. Local TV affiliates show nothing if it ain't KC. I got to watch the ND/GA Tech game (thanks for nothing, there) only because ND grads control some of the TV stations (believe me - they're everywhere!, or the subway alumni are!)

Go RED RIDERS of TX Tech! I went to Greensboro to the NCAA b-ball tourney last March with a TT friend to cheer on her Riders, but they were soundly whomped by BC. Young kids needing lots of seasoning, but the Big Dance is hte place to get it.

Ah, sports are ramping up again! I love when school is back in session and all the college sports start up for another year. College hockey is not that far away........GO IRISH ICEMEN !!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if Appalachian is ranked next week as sort of an honorable mention-type thing, but I would be really surprised if we were in it any longer than that. But one week would make me really happy anyway.

Can't wait till the game tomorrow. I've got to do the colorguard. If you go look for the rifleman thats on the left side of the state flag, and that'll be me. As soon as that thing is over I'm running to my dorm and switching to my App football fan gear.

So Appalachian played nice and still kicked the snot out of D-II Lenoir-Rhyne this afternoon, 48-7.

But can anyone tell me whose brilliant idea it was to one-at-a-time people through the main gate at the Rock when they knew they would have a record crowd on hand? Where was the line of booths they normally have? And why did they wait until 2 or 3 minutes before kickoff to open the gates and let the remaining (probably) 10,000 people stampede into the stadium? And who's going to pay the hospital bills for the people who were taken there from heat exhaustion after standing in that fustercluck for an hour or two waiting to get in?

PS. The attendance number of 28,802 is a load of crap. There's no telling how many people they let in at the last minute. That's probably just the number of tickets sold and claimed by students.

I'm figuring they use those scanners to find out how many tickets they scanned.

And that game was boring. Using our 2nd and 3rd strings and we still kicked some butt.

as far as other games, just got finished watching auburn ge upset. what a great finish. didnt watch much of that game because i watched lsu/vt. lsu looks goooood. that defense is ridiculously fast. i have thought vt was overrated the past few years. they have no offense, and havent had any for a while. everytime they run into a team with speed, they cant score. maybe that'll change with that new freshman qb. he looks good.

michigan....maaaaaaan....didnt see any of that....but geeez....that loss to us must of really demoralized them. i mean, i know they are slow, and their D got exposed....but to get beat like that?

During the beginning of the Michigan / Oregan game, the Wolverines lost their quarterback, and then later lost their star receiver. One of the ESPN announcers opines in reference to how Michigan's 2007 season seems to be going: "How many wheels can fall off this car ???" I cracked up. Mr. Hart, the injured receiver, announced that next week they WOULD be winning on their own turf since they are playing Notre Dame. Would not surprise me: battle of the busteds. If ND will dress all their players' grandmothers and send THEM in, we'll whomp wolverine hairy butt, but of course they will use the $38,000/yr scholarship Nancies and probably go quietly to slaughter.

Yeah, but Hazard - those ACC teams lost to KILLERS! Every one of those programs is a monster of a football program and MOST (not all) of the ACC schools do not field football teams anywhere in the same league as the opponents of this week. It was like a murderer's row of a line-up, competition-wise.

This next saturday, Southern Cal comes out to Lincoln to play Nebraska. The locals are going bonkers. Look for a big dent in the landscape as the mid-Missouri valley caves in under the weight of everyone at least appearing in the Huskers' stadium lot for tailgating if they can't get into the stadium. The cornfeds are on the rampage. Should be a great game.

Personally I just want everyone lighting candles for Notre Dame.... if they can manage a miracle and beat Michigan (the game is At Ann Arbor), that would make THREE losses in a row for Michigan AT the Big House. I don't know if that has ever happened to the Wolverines before! My email is filling up with friends from all over the country who hate Michigan (and also hate ND) and are pulling for the Irish to deal another death blow to the Blue-and-Maize. The vultures are circling the wounded animal.... Michigan may end up not even in the running at all for the Big 10 title. shocker.

Either you missed "UNC loses to ECU" in that line-up, or I'm really happy you consider ECU a monster of a football program
